This course explores the reciprocal relationships among design, science, and technology by covering a wide range of topics including industrial design, architecture, visualization and perception, design computation, material ecology, and environmental design and sustainability. Students will examine how transformations in science and technology have influenced design thinking and vice versa, as well as develop methodologies for design research and collaborate on design solutions to interdisciplinary problems.Basal Ganglia Dissection Demonstration in Human Brain - Part 1http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=630097
Dissection and demonstration of Basal Ganglia in formalinized human brain specimen; Dissection performed and commentary given by Dr Sanjoy Sanyal, Dean of Medical Sciences and Professor of Neuroscience in American International Medical University (AIMU), St. Lucia, Caribbean. It was performed in the Neuroscience Lab of Medical University of the Americas (MUA), Nevis, in June 2011 as an aid to teaching Neuroscience to Med 3 students who are preparing for USMLE Step 1. Camera credit goes to Sonja Langley (former Med 3 student at MUA) and video editing credit goes to Chris Robinson (former Med 4 student at MUA).Serial axial sections of the brain are taken with Virchow's Brain Knife to demonstrate the location, relations, appearance and structure of Basal Ganglia components, and their relationships with the lateral and third ventricles. The components of Basal ganglia are Caudate nucleus, Putamen, Globus pallidus, Lentiform nucleus, Claustrum. Other structure like thalamus, Internal capsule, Insula are also demonstrated. This is the first dissection-demonstration of a 2-part series. Basal Ganglia Dissection Demonstration in Human Brain - Part 2http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=630092

CMS.300 Introduction to Videogame Studies (MIT)http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=883835
This course offers an introduction to the interdisciplinary study of videogames as texts through an examination of their cultural, educational, and social functions in contemporary settings. Students play and analyze videogames while reading current research and theory from a variety of sources in the sciences, social sciences, humanities, and industry. Assignments focus on game analysis in the context of the theories discussed in class. Class meetings involve regular reading, writing, and presentation exercises. No prior programming experience required. Students taking the graduate version complete additional assignments.CMS.608 Game Design (MIT)http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=883967
This course provides practical instruction in the design and analysis of non-digital games. Students cover the texts, tools, references and historical context to analyze and compare game designs across a variety of genres, including sports, game shows, games of chance, card games, schoolyard games, board games, and role&ndash;playing games. In teams, students design, develop, and thoroughly test their original games to understand the interaction and evolution of game rules. Students taking the graduate version complete additional assignments.Conspiracy Codehttp://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=508039
